/sqt/ - stupid questions thread

I'm trying to "install" JUnit.
To that end, i downloaded junit 4.10 and tried to add the jar to my classpath, like this:

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/junit4.10/junit-4.10.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/junit4.10

Now, that WORKED and i was able to run the example test suite.
But after i close the terminal, and started it up again, the classpath was unset.

How do i permanently set the classpath? it's literally useless if it doesn't stay set.

does anybody have a picture of that tweet Terry Davis had where he used the word 'niggerlicious'???

>>60580459
add the export to your shell init script (For bash, it's ~/.bashrc

So, I keep this fucking windows 8.1 partition around, for games I never really play anymore. The only reason I boot into it still is to keep it updated, as you can see it's been a while since I did that. Now this screen has been like this for about 30 minutes now, and I'm getting pretty sick of it. Does anybody know how to fix this piece of shit?

my android keeps crashing.
I know it's a hardware issue because I did a TOT restore and the crashing persists.
I also know it's not the battery because I put in a fresh one and it still crashes.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?
I also have a last_msg.txt if anyone knows how to read that (I don't).

Some googling suggested the following:

>Don't have partitions...
You gotta be shitting me

>Run the scan again.
great advice

>Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter.
This is a separate program they want me to download, and I'm afraid it's gonna """"fix""" my problem by just installing windows 10, or at least all the telemetry ""updates"", so fuck that.

>Perform a System Restore.
Fuck. Off.

There has to be a valid fix right? Windows just werks right?

What happens with a message sent through a mesh network?

For example firechat, if i send a message from device a and its going to device d like

a>b>c>d

does the encrypted/unreadable message get removed from devices b and c and in that case how does device b/c know that the message has been delivered and it is time to remove it from themselves?

>>60580943
Windows sucks and so do you for keeping it around. In any case run the windows update fixit tool. You can DL it from MS.

It will stop the service, clear all temp files/downloads/etc, and restarts the service. It also produces a report that you can use to further identify the root cause. It won't force you to update. You can even go as far as blocking the specific update that prompts you to install 10.

I am going to be installing manjaro today. I already have the partitions made from another time i was installing linux and i intend to install over them.

This is where i am getting confused. I am going to be dual booting, but the linux and windows OS are on totally different physical SSDs. So where should i install the bootloader too?

Thanks mate, I'll give it a shot.

>>60581078
A+ is more hardware and OS based. CCNA is all networking. Both are boring as fuck. If you do get your CCNA you'll always be able to find a job with a MSP. I would recommend installing server 2012 R2 on a VM and follow some online guides on how to setup AD/DNS and attempt to create a home domain. That should give you a taste of the kinds of things you'll be working with.

>>60581073
Install bootloader in linux ssd.
Install os-prober.
Use and run grub2-mkconfig
It will actually not detect windows.
Dual booting matters when two os are on same machine. Why not install linxux and windows independently and press f8 at system wake up and chose ssd to boot from?

>>60581128
Could you dumb that down for me? And so you are saying CCNA is worth the effort that I'll have to put in? Bc I really don't want to stay stuck at my shitty job

At which point is somebody considered proficient in any programming language?

>>60581087
>>60581090

Well, that didn't work. I even rebooted because I thought it might be because widnows update is still running, but nope.

>>60581128
Also should I skip A+ and go straight for CCNA even tho I have no knowledge and not the smartest person

>>60581163
CCNA is brutal. They also require you to take a final test at the end of the course where you receive your certification. To make things worse, you'll have to renew that every few years (5 I think) and retake the test. It's worth it if you can make it. You'll be able to land a job in the 50-70K range depending on how close you are to a metropolitan center.

Warning: You really have to love networking to be able to make it. I reccomend you give yourself a test to see if you're up to the challenge. Here is the test

>Download a trial version of Windows Server 2012r2
>That trial will last for 180 days
>Install the ISO that you downloaded on a virtual machine (vmware is best)
>Attempt to follow this guide: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/22622.building-your-first-domain-controller-on-2012-r2.aspx
>It will not be easy if it's your first time. Use google
>Once that is all setup, install a fresh copy of windows 10 on a VM
>Attempt to join it to the Domain
>It'll most likely fail - don't fret, keep googling.
>Finally you'll get it joined and you'll have created your first network.

If you do that and decide that you like this kind of thing then go for the CCNA.

I just got a new TV, and I'm looking for Android Box / players for it. Mainly, to watch my chinese cartoons.
I'm also looking at chinese alternatives, since I don't have that much to spend on it, but I want to be able to play the most I can without having to re-encode everything.
Anyone know any known product that plays the most common releases or what should I be looking for?

>>60581137
Yeah that's what i thought would happen. It's just that all guides assume its going to be on the same disk.

In Virtualbox, is it possible to use a secondary HDD with a preinstalled OS? Or is it just possible to use the secondary HDD when installing a new OS to it?

The use case scenario would be using a GNU/Linux in primary HDD and secondary HDD with windows 7 in Virtualbox.

>>60581348
I've been thinking about this as well. What I think would work is that you can make an ISO of you windows installation. Then you just transfer that ISO to you linux partition and use a VM and boot that iso. I think that would be the easiest way to use windows on linux without doing A TON of redoing

>>60581342
Lol i was writing to say that os-prober would detect windows but then I realized (in line 3 or 4) it won't so wrote about switching at system wake.
Its not a problem though.I guess its better option than dual boot. My chickpad run so damn slow because of dual boot.

>>60581379

That's going to give you massive driver inconsistencies. You can convert you install to a VHD from a bootable usb and then do what you said. Or you can just do a windows backup to an external and restore to a fresh VM

I am just getting to concerned about the "jews" I have recently deleted my facebook. I have started a CCNA course to learn more about networks and hopefully I can learn more about network security from that. And that's why i am working on installing linux today.

It's a simplistic test to see if the anon is capable of the much more advanced tasks that he'll be presented with. Once he gets a basic idea of networking he can see if he has a taste for going forward. It'll cover basics like how ports work / DNS / kys

>>60581410
It seems that I can get the windows 7 iso from MS own site if I input the key. With that, should I just wipe both my Z60m with windows vista and T60 with wind7 and install GNU/Linux on both so I can vm those windows OS across my other machines if I happen to run some eroges that don't work with wine?

Before that I was planning to get 4tb HGST drive to back all of my devices.

Anyone know which package/plugin I should install to fix this?

I've searched for "video/x-ms-asf" playback on google and ubuntu forums but so far all of them mention installing either plugins for certain media players or because they can't stream some webradio over the internet on firefox/chrome, I actually got this from playing a game and during the start of one the cutscenes it crashes and gives me this error.

So, how to achieve native playback for whatever "video/x-ms-asf" on Linux without resorting to installing more media players?

>>60581024
I would just like to interject for one bit. What you're alluding to as Linux, is in actuality, GNU/Linux, or as I just the other day began to call it, GNU plus Linux. Linux isn't an operating system by itself, but really another free part of a fully working GNU system fashioned into something practical by the GNU core libraries, terminal tools and essential system components comprising a full OS.

A sizeable amount of computer holders use a subspecies of the original every single day, but do not realize. Because of a strange turn of events, the version of GNU which is applied currently is often called Linux, and many of its holders do not know that it is really the GNU system, created by the GNU Project.

There truly is a Linux, and this population do have it installed, but it is simply a portion of the system they use. Linux is the core: the part of the system that distributes the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The core is a necessary part of an operating system, but cannot work on its own; it can only function in the structure of a complete operating system. Linux is often applied in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is really GNU with the addition of Linux, or GNU/Linux. Every one of the Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

useless unless you shell out extra for a mobo that can run 8 case fans, or if not variable speed then some splitters for your psu to be able to connect to them all. and it'd be noisey as fuck.

why is Debian testing more commonly used for home desktops? Isn't it a beta test? Is it true that security patches are delayed for testing?

>>60584749
Faster update cycle = cool shit faster. Debian Stable uses ancient packages too.

>Q: How is security handled for testing?
>A: Security for testing benefits from the security efforts of the entire project for unstable. However, there is a minimum two-day migration delay, and sometimes security fixes can be held up by transitions. The Security Team helps to move along those transitions holding back important security uploads, but this is not always possible and delays may occur. Especially in the months after a new stable release, when many new versions are uploaded to unstable, security fixes for testing may lag behind. If you want to have a secure (and stable) server you are strongly encouraged to stay with stable.

Transistors perform the same jobs that vacuum tubes used to, and in much the same way: varying the voltage applied to the base changes the voltage between the collector and emitter parts by acting as a voltage-dependent gateway. This allows one to amplify electrical signals, or to switch circuits on and off using no moving parts. Networks of switched circuits can then be built that perform basic logical operations; for instance, a circuit with two switches in series can be thought of as a crude AND gate - only on when both switches are closed.

I didn't understand a thing from this. I don't know what a vacuum tube is. I tried making a diagram. Correct me if I am wrong, but the way I understand it, on both pictures, the electricity comes from arrow 1. Basically it's the power supply of my home which in turn comes from my neighborhood's power grind. If there is a blackout, that is going to be the first part that will be turned off, right? So it flows to the right. And, again correct me if I am wrong, I understand that if the electricity passes through that "block" in the middle and then goes "down" to the "route" that is facing donwards, then we'll get a 1. That's what happens on the square to the right, right? And if that electricity doesn't flow "down" in that tube which is on the lower right of the transistor, which is what happens on the left diagram, then we'll have a false (zero). What I can't understand is what does that "route" with the number 2 dashed arrow is. From the diagrams I have seen, it seems like when you turn on the power, you'll have arrow one, and when arrow one reaches that middle "block", arrow two will turn on and electricity will come from it, and its the two arrows that will make arrow 3 happen. What the fuck. Why does that upper tube, route, whatever you call it, have to do with it? Why does it cause electricity to flow through 3? Please help me, as I said I'm a functional retard.

>>60586275
Quite the question for /sqt/.

There are actually different kinds of transistors, each of which function differently. As a simplification you can just think of them as electrical switches though. Input (voltage) at point 2 basically connects points 1 and 3, and because there is always an output (voltage) at point 1, point 3 also now has the same output (voltage). Without input on point 2 connecting points 1 and 3, point 3 will have no output. The voltage used as input/output is then either ON or OFF, represented as 1 and 0 respectively. For a single transistor used as a switch the output always equals the input.

By combining these switches we can then implement different logical operators like AND, which could be formed by having two switches in a series. This way, only if both of them have 1 as their input will their combined output be 1. With any other combination of inputs (00, 01, 10) the output will remain at 0. All of boolean logic can be implemented in a similar fashion, providing all the blocks we need to design complex digital circuits, like an adder. By repeating the process we can then build even more complex circuits and finally a functioning processor. It's just layers upon layers of abstraction.

Starting from the transistor level really isn't very useful unless you're heavily into EE. Boolean logic would in my opinion be a better starting point.

I think understand Boolean logic very well, to me it comes very intuitively and I would even go as far as saying its beautiful in its nature of absolute precision. What I don't understand is this voltage thing. Firstly why did you say "Input (voltage)" on first line second paragraph. Wouldn't the correct term be amperage or current since it's an electric current that is flowing on those tubes? They're like wires right? In any case, so let me see if I got it right. Use >>60586962 as a reference for what I'm going to say. So there's always electricity flowing in tube 2 or wire 2 or whatever that thing is called. I think it's electrode right? But wheter the electricity from 2 will get to 3 depends if there is, at that given instant, electricity flowing through 1. If there is, then we get a nice 1. If not, we get a roundy 0. Is that how it works basically? If that's so, what is controlling 1 exactly? And why is it that electricity passing through 1 makes is it so that the electricity in 2 goes to 3?

>>60587369
Because of how the semiconductor electrochemistry inside works, if there's no current flowing from 1 to 3 (base to collector), the energy required to get current to jump from 2 to 3 (emitter to collector) is very large, so near zero current flows, it's effectively a switch turned off. When sufficient current is pushed into 1 by the outside circuit, the energy required falls significantly, now lots of current can flow from 2 to 3, it's effectively a switch turned on.

>>60587369
>why doesn't the electricity of the orange 2 goes directly into the yellow 3 regardless of the red 1?
That's due to the way the transistor is built. Of course the electrons would love to move (thus making the current flow) between points 2 and 3 when there is a potential difference between those points (for example point 2 is connected to the plus side of a battery and point 3 is connected to the minus), but (as a simplification) they can't quite make it over the gap, which is made of a different material than the edges, at the center of the transistor without help. Thus we need something at point 1, which is (in a certain type of transistor) connected directly to that gap. This something is, at least for one type of transistor, a potential difference between points 1 and 3, which causes a small current to flow from point 1 to point 3, which in turn "bridges the gap" and allows a much larger current to flow from point 2 to 3. The potential difference could be achieved by connecting the plus terminal of the aforementioned battery to point 1 using a resistor.

Explaining this without starting from the basics of semiconductors might be too hard. I hope I haven't confused you too much with this lackluster explanation. Search for an introduction into semiconductors. Any article should cover the different semiconductor materials, how to make diodes out of them and then how to build a transistor.

They are not quite like wires, which are conductors, but instead they are SEMIconductors.

I'm going to upgrade my toaster of a desktop swapping out everything but the case and the HDD. I have Windows 7 dual booted with Ubuntu (gotta figure out what's wrong with the Ubuntu partition again/eventually, failsafeX graphics mode gets stuck on black screen).

How likely is it that I can just swap out all parts but the HDD and case (motherboard, CPU, ram ,power supply, GPU), and expect everything to figure itself out when it powers on? Google has mixed results.

But I'm guessing I'm fucked and should prep a USB with a windows 7 recovery/install shit.

To begin with, what you've pictured is a bipolar junction transistor, which have been very rarely used in logic circuits for the last 50 years or so. Field-effect transistors are where it's at for logic. BJTs are more about analogue circuits (like amplifiers) and sometimes for power supplies. Pic related.

But yes, in logic applications they're used just like switches. Exactly how they work depends on the FET in use -- it's not really important for the purpose of understanding computers, but there are four types, N-FET and P-FET, both in depletion-mode and enhancement mode variants. What they all have in common is that the voltage on the gate controls whether the drain-source channel is open or closed. The type of FET just determines what voltage levels does what. CMOS, by far the most common logic arrangement, uses both N-FETs and P-FETs. See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMOS>.

Understanding transistors isn't even remotely necessary for understanding computers, however; you can live on the software level forever without really missing out. But if you want to know more about it, you'd be better off understanding basic circuit laws, the Kirchoff's laws, Ohm's law, and the roles of basic components like resistors and capacitors first of all. Without understanding the basics, transistors won't make sense either.

Windows 7 will most likely just straight out blue screen. It might work if you managed to uninstall the old drivers before migrating the HDD. Even after migration you could try using the safe mode to fix the installation, but I personally just reinstall in cases like this. Windows 10 on the other hand seems to survive migrations quite a bit better.

Linux also won't have much problems. You might not be able to start X due to wrong graphics drivers after install, and fstab might need some updating depending on your setup.

What kind of answer are you looking for? "Because that's what transistors do", or the quantum mechanical answer? To put it very briefly, in a BJT (which you've pictured but, sa said in >>60587972 isn't very relevant for computer logic) there is normally a depletion zone between the collector and the emitter which works as an electrical insulator, but a current flowing through the base affects the charge distribution to weaken or remove the depletion zone, making the doped silicon conduct. A FET is somewhat similar, only it's the electrical field from the (insulated) gate that affects the charge distribution in the channel rather than a current.

>>60588202
Sounds like you never used it and you are just parroting horseshit you read on stack overflow.

The problem is not that the system will be unstable, the problem is that the motherboard will over-volt the chip and cause heat issues.

You manually overclock because not all chips require that much voltage, but the motherboard doesn't know that.

It has almost nothing to do with instability.

>>60588123
>Because switching takes power
That's not exactly true. In an ideal CMOS circuit, switching takes virtually no power at all (I believe there are quantum considerations that make it non-zero, but still so extremely small so as to be negligable).
The power use comes from the deviance from the ideal circuit. Real transistors take non-zero time to transition from fully closed to fully open, meaning there is a span of time during which both the N- and P-FET in a CMOS design conduct simultaneously, allowing current to flow directly from Vdd to Vss, whereas in an ideal circuit that time would be zero. Likewise, in a real circuit, there needs to flow some non-zero amount of current to fill up the interconnect capacitance, whereas in an ideal circuit the capacitance would be zero and only the voltage levels would matter.
In theory, the circuit designed could be optimized indefinitely, so that the wasted energy would be negligibly small.

Most of the losses in tiny CMOS now is charging/discharging the parasitic capacitance and leakage through the FETs that should be off. The shoot through with the P and N being partially on is small in comparison.

>>60588648
>The shoot through with the P and N being partially on is small in comparison.
If that were true, I wouldn't expect power consumption to increase much with higher clockspeeds, which overclocking tests seem to show that it does.

>>60588708
Which i5?

Which case?

>>60588708
Jesus. People still think "cpu is an i5" tells us anything. That narrows it down to like 500 CPUs and half the chipsets made in the last decade.

>>60588768
Higher clock speeds require higher voltage, which requires more charge into the parasitic capacitances, and doing it more often, so more power there, roughly proportional to frequency squared. The higher voltage also gives significantly higher leakage.

>>60588744
Seems to be right about what I was looking for. What did you input to find it? I have keep doing every variation of "Ada embedded" I could think of and kept getting blogs.

>>60588839
I'm pretty sure the power consumption goes up if you set the clockspeed even within the range where you don't need to increase the voltage, including underclocking.

I'm planning to go back to school but not sure which school to attend. Normal or Technical?

I want to work with computer components. I want to learn how they work and how to fix them.

When changing frequency but not voltage, power change is mostly linear to clock speed, which is from the change in parasitic charge/discharge events per second, and the shoot through events per second.

By UEFI changing alone, no. Windows will no longer boot.

>How do Linux distros with UEFI support launch the BIOS?

They don't, that's the whole point of UEFI, getting away from legacy BIOS. If you mean the UEFI setup program, you can get to it through efibootmgr, or just by spamming delete/F2/whatever key your board uses so long as you don't turn on the super fast boot mode or whatever it calls it that skips turning on USB.

okay grandpa

>>60589263
format it, untick "quick format"

>>60589299
gee thanks for the help

>>60589234
Sure, parasitic capacitance would scale with clock frequency (and I also mentioned that back in >>60588498), but plain leakage through off-state FETs wouldn't.

>>60589263
Don't be retarded, it's not like viruses live outside the filesystem. Just a plain old format will do the trick.

>>60589169
You can turn on UEFI but you cannot go back. It's not reversible unless you reinstall on legacy boot options.

Modern kernels support UEFI.

>>60589343
Which is why power scales a bit less than linearly with clock speed if voltage is kept constant.

No doubt, I'm not contesting that. I'm just asserting that switch-related losses are a very significant factor too. Anyway, the only point I originally tried to make was just that all of these sources of loss are theoretically possible to optimize away indefinitely well, and that there are no, or at least highly negligible, sources of intrinsic loss that couldn't be optimized away even in theory (unlike eg. heat engines).

>>60589745
True, but kinda pointless, everything in electronics can be lossless if we ignore parasitics and time.

>>60589922
Which may or may not be obvious. The post I originally replied to stated that "switching takes power", which is not categorically true.
